Description

SnakeYaml is currently heavily used by the plugin ecosystem and bundled with nearly all platforms, including Velocity.

My opinion is that it would be wise to wait and see if the plugin landscape changes such that SnakeYaml is no longer as critical. I'm not going to advocate for its inclusion if the library dies out, but if its usage persists (or grows) nearing the time of Velocity Polymer, I would suggest it be kept in Velocity.
